A dark sense of foreboding haunts this expansive English landscape depicting the countryside near Rye in East Sussex; a part of England that Edward Burra came to know well during the war years. The Country Road is a superb example of the intricately detailed, surreal watercolours that are eponymous with Burra’s practice and of the large format landscapes that consumed him during the 40s.
